Riddled with coercion, false confessions and a lack of evidence, the Yogurt Shop Murders case stands as an embarrassment to Texans, fully exposing the problems plaguing our justice system. New DNA evidence has exonerated Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen, and after a decade-long struggle, they are finally home on personal recognizance bonds.

Despite this new evidence, the Travis County District Attorney insists on pursuing prosecution. After numerous push backs, their trial has now been set for August 12th.

Grassroots organizing and community support have played a critical role in bringing these men home. We thank you for your support throughout the years and call on you now to stand with us Saturday, August 8th at 4 PM outside the Travis County District Attorney’s Office in support of Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen.

We must demand an end to this injustice once and for all! Austinites are tired of the legal charade these men and their families have been dragged through and have made their demands clear: “Free the Yogurt Shop Defendants and Drop ALL charges in the Yogurt Shop case NOW!”
